capsizings
Vessels turning over
Capsizings are instances of boats or ships overturning in water.
The word appears in reports of maritime accidents or discussions of sailing hazards: The capsizings occurred during a sudden squall.
A single vessel overturning is a capsizing; multiple such events are capsizings.
